Charles E Geyer MD; ESMO 2025: Antibody Drug Conjugate T-DXd Brings Longer Cancer-Free Survival for Patients with HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer and Residual Invasive Disease
Charles E Geyer MD, at ESMO 2025, discusses DESTINY-Breast05 results, revealing trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) significantly improves disease-free survival for HER2-positive early breast cancer patients with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant therapy. T-DXd outperformed trastuzumab emtansin
Alexis Ann LeVee MD; 2025 SABCS: Pre-Operative Gut Microbiome Predicts Complete Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Patients with Early-stage HER2-positive Breast Cancer
Alexis Ann LeVee MD presented novel research at the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Her team's study, the randomized phase II neoHIP trial, revealed that pre-operative gut microbiome composition predicts pathologic complete response to immune checkpoint inhibition in patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. This highlights the microbiome's crucial role in influencing treatment outcomes for HER2-positive breast cancer.
